Volcano erupts remnants of Earth's 4-billion-year-old primordial magma ocean
Scientists have found traces of Earth's primordial magma ocean — which once covered the entire planet — in lava erupted by a young volcano in the Indian Ocean. The ancient material survived deep in Earth's mantle for billions of years without mixing with surrounding rock. The discovery provides direct evidence about the composition and early history of our planet.
